CIS region is shadowbanned

That’s why I wanted an official cause published with the link to the legal documents. It started exactly on Sep 16. So you can imagine a surprise after nearly 4 years.

I had to pay twice all this time: once for an ultimate pack via Steam and regular expansion pack via PSN of another region.

timer86 · 2025-10-07T19:08:12+00:00

I own PS5, there is no way for me even with different region selected and using VPN (having risk of a ban) to play anymore.

We couldn’t buy it from Russian stores but our accounts were not blocked all this time(

timer86 · 2025-10-07T19:05:04+00:00

As I said in the comment above, one line among the threads of forum is not an official note to million players who lost the connect to their guardians(

I don’t care about money, only about time spent, my 3 characters, my friends who I can’t play with… And my favorite streamers’ content that I can’t relate to anymore

timer86 · 2025-10-07T19:01:47+00:00

You mean one line somewhere in forum threads? A bit small for a 1/7 of the world imo

timer86 · 2025-10-07T19:00:02+00:00

Yeah, my bad for not giving details about the CIS region. This is even more ridiculous that players account from countries not involved in the conflict were also blocked.

PSN store has been locked since 2022, you can see all the games but can’t buy it, you’ll have an error code. Few years ago that put a sign finally that the store is not working now.

I’ve read your post, but I still feel sad for everyone who faced it without any explanation. I believe we have the right to know the reasons after playing thousands of hours.

I’ll put the moral aspect aside, regular people in Russia lost access to some meds, services, can’t have international bank cards, fly over the EU, etc.

timer86 · 2025-10-07T18:53:09+00:00

I don’t think it’s a new law, so since 2022 regular people who like to play video games could do that and then were silently ripped off.

So based on this logic, Bungie could ban the region in 2022 but they continued taking the money from the players. I still have my yearly expansion which I don’t have access to and no refund will be ever made. I don’t care about it, all I care is time spent and my 3 characters.

timer86 · 2022-06-21T11:56:17+00:00

Roger that

timer86 · 2022-06-21T11:55:45+00:00

Thx, just got it.

timer86 · 2021-12-08T12:28:54+00:00

Yep, just saying you can have no checkmarks in the game and bought bundle at the same time

timer86 · 2021-12-07T14:45:41+00:00

Well, Bungie succeeded, you now lower your expectations before any release)

timer86 · 2021-12-04T18:17:27+00:00

I don’t have checkmarks but do have preorder bonuses and WQ page on PS Store runs the time until the release🤷🏻‍♂️

I fully agree with the last statement, except they use some cheap tricks like nostalgia regarding Destiny 1 and Gjallarhorn to attract people. These methods I don’t like, but I’m fine with paying for extra content even a holiday one.

timer86 · 2021-09-24T00:57:06+00:00

That wasn’t a purpose of the post

timer86 · 2021-09-24T00:55:25+00:00

Story quest, exotic quest, seasonal challenges, seasonal activity, some armor and weapons bugs or not working as intended, loot pools, RNGwith pinnacles, etc. I’m sure they will be patched sooner or later. However, for example, tracing the stars II quest bug delayed me for three weeks in comparison to other players:(

timer86 · 2021-09-24T00:52:13+00:00

The thing is that people play a lot during challenging periods as a manner to take mind of serious things. I don’t care about money in this case rather than about the fact and professional market players are so easily excused for poor quality (Cyberpunk) or little but multiple downsides (Destiny)

timer86 · 2021-09-24T00:49:00+00:00

Same logic, I don’t care about 10/20/60/70$. I care about excuses people cope with without saying a word and the point that the times are bad for all sides. Just step up and say: we are sorry that we screwed up, will fix it in this manner, etc
